Pakistani Taliban warn local 'human shield' tribesmen to not leave, or their houses will be burned. Military has asked people to vacate the area prior to major operation using tanks, jets, choppers, artillery and ground troops

It's a matter of power-hungry people vs people who just want to live out their lives in a constructive / productive manner. Examples of this can be found in the western world. Take a look at police officers. There are police who are generally good people who want to make the world a safer place. On the other hand there are officers who seem to want to be in a position of power over others and behave as such. Unfortunately there are too few psychiatric evaluations performed on officers entering the field to weed out this personality trait.

Ok fine, I understand that. But the peace loving man who only wants to live his life has a breaking point. When doichebags are fucking shit up eventually the regular guy has to say enough is enough and do something. Either they're all pussies or they agree with the Taliban, there's really no third option.

An awful decision to choose between - staying & hoping you'll live to see your probably historically significant home not demolished during the battle, or becoming homeless. These tribesmen & their livelyhoods are literally used as terror vesselled hideouts and they know they'll be homeless regardless.
